Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving

Donating with Payroll Giving is a quick, easy and tax efficient way for employees to give to Walking with the Wounded directly from their salary.

Making a donation through Payroll Giving costs less because it's tax free. Walking With The Wounded receives the donations with the tax included, courtesy of the tax man.

This means a gift through payroll goes even further, getting even more of our wounded back into employment. The Government gives us the tax that they would otherwise have kept. In other words, it lets your employees give even more at no extra cost to them. For example:
